  1. I would probably substitute bison tallow for the lard, but this is pretty darn close to what I know as traditional #pemmican! I also believe that honey or maple syrup can be used in place of refined sugar.

    Pemmican
    By Patricia Rowland

    Ingredients
    Dried meat (buffalo, game or beef)
    Dried #chokecherries (juneberries can be used as well) (use about the same amount as the dried meat)
    Sugar to taste
    Lard (to hold together) Do not use shortening or butter.

    Directions
    Pound meat very thin and dry in the oven [or a food dehydrator]
    Grind the dried meat in a food processor [or grinder].
    Add the chokecherries and blend together.
    The consistency should be dry and loose with fruit broken up.
    Add melted lard slowly while mixing.
    Two tablespoons of fat are used for each 4-5 ounces of meat plus 1/3 cup of fruit.
    Fat changes the consistency and makes it appear semi-moist instead of dry and improves the flavor and texture. Store in paper bags."
